Registration For Future City Is Open!

What is Future City?

Future City is a cross-curricular National education program organized locally by The Engineering Society of Detroit. This year we are proud to be celebrating the 30th year of the program! This hands-on STEM program is open to anyone in 6th - 8th grade. It gives students an opportunity to do the things that engineers do—identify problems; brainstorm ideas; design solutions; test, retest, and build; and share their results. This process is called the engineering design process. With this at its center, Future City is a hands-on engaging way to build students’ 21st century skills. Watch this awesome video of visit the Future City Webpage to see Future City in action.

For more information about Future City, contact Allison Marrs, ESD Future City Program Manager, at amarrs@esd.org or 248-353-0735, ext. 121.

We are working with a number of partner organizations regionally and statewide to provide connections between employers, students, job seekers, and economic development organizations. If you are from any of those sectors and are interested in discussing career awareness, internships, apprenticeships, work-based learning, and training/education please reach out to us! Here are a few of our partner resources that you may find helpful.

The STEM Teaching Tools are resources that have been developed through a project called ACESSE through the Council of State Science Supervisors. EUP teacher Billie Ennes was part of the team from Michigan, along with MiSTEM Executive Director Megan Schrauben who contributed to the development of the newest STEM Teaching Tool aimed at helping STEM education leaders move with community towards culturally affirming and sustaining practices! Thank you to Billie for representing Michigan and the EUP!

Students aboard the Inland Seas on a beautiful day in the EUP!!
